Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know what the requirements are to play the HOT content?
I assume you have to be lvl 80?
Do you have to do the living world season 2 storyline? With 1 Character or with all that want to play HOT?
Any other requirement?

Have to be level 80 and have bought the expansion. They wouldn’t lock having to do Season 2 as a pre-req because that locksout anyone who wasn’t playing then and hasn’t gone back and bought the seasons. Parts might not make much sense without playing Season 2, but it wouldn’t be required.

I do not believe you will need to have done any past content. The HoT storyline will likely assume that you have and NPC’s will react to your character as if that character had been through the story, but you won’t be barred from playing just because you didn’t do the earlier stuff. You just won’t understand some of the plot points (unless you have read up on the story thus far).

The only real requirement to play HoT is to buy it and apply the code to your account. Oh, and to have a computer that can handle the game.

Ideally the HoT story will be designed to get you up to speed on the story so far fairly quickly even if you havent played LS2. Bonus points if it does so in a way that encourages LS2 purchases in the process.
